Kaikōura 3 Day Trial

May 30 @ 10:00 am - June 1 @ 3:00 pm
$100

The Kaikōura 3 day trial will be held at King’s Birthday weekend on 30 May-1 June 2026.  This will be the 80th anniversary of this trial which has been run annually since it began in 1946.  This not to be missed event is the only trial each year which has a sidecar class. As usual, there will be great properties to ride on and time to socialise in the evening.

This year the first two days will be at the Snip’s property and the third day will be held at Barry Schroder’s farm.  Information about how to get to the properties will be sent to riders before the event.

There will be a dinner on Sunday evening at Donegal House ($50 for a two course adult meal, $25 for children, under 12). The dress theme will be period clothing worn in early Kaikōura trials.

K3D t shirts can be purchased when you enter.  These need to be ordered and paid for by 10 May.

The colour may be different to the example below.
